Do you offer tastings?

Yes.  We certainly do offer complimentary tastings for orders of $200 and more and recommend that you attend as your cupcakes should taste delicious AND be beautiful.  Emailing us ahead of time with some of your favourite flavours will help us to prepare a selection of cupcakes and toppings that cater specifically to your taste expectations.


How long in advance should I order cupcakes?

For wedding cupcakes, we recommend placing an order as soon as you have booked your reception site and know your approximate number of guests.  Wedding planning can begin as early as a year in advance and getting an early start on your cupcakes will ensure that you've had ample time to finalize your flavour combinations and coordinate the design of your cupcakes with your wedding theme.  For special occasion cupcakes we need at least 72 hours notice though ideally a month notice is recommended.  This is because a select number of orders are baked each weekend creating limited availability.  All of our cupcakes are custom and made to order.


Do you package cupcakes as favours?

Yes.  We offer a wide array of packaging options to ensure that your cupcake favours are totally personalized for your wedding or special event.


Do you deliver your cupcakes?

Yes.  We will deliver and set up your wedding cupcakes in and around Durham Region and the GTA.  The delivery fee is determined by area with a minimum cost of $30


Can I pick up my cupcakes?

Yes.  Most people do pick up their special occasion cupcakes.


How much do your cupcakes cost?

Cupcakes decorated with a swirl of buttercream are $25 a dozen.
Buttercream Flower Cupcakes are $48 a dozen

We can also create a variety of custom designs in buttercream or custom toppers in fondant or chocolate.  The cost of custom cupcakes varies depending on the level of complexity of design chosen.

A minimum order of $50 is required for cupcakes.


Do you rent tiered cupcake stands?

Yes.  We do rent tiered cupcake stands (also called cupcake trees) and offer the option for a 6" topper cake starting at $40 when paired with a cupcake order.


Is a deposit required?

Yes.  We do require a 50% deposit to secure an order.


What is the difference between fondant and buttercream?

Fondant and buttercream are different both in taste and texture.  Fondant is a sweet sugar dough which holds it's shape well and allows for more intricate design. It also withstands a wider range of temperatures.  Buttercream is rich and luxurious, and can be flavoured with an endless variety of options.  It is soft and works better for piping based designs.  It does not hold up as well to different temperatures as fondant.
